# Task: Expand /g-scale-trains into a garden-railroading hub

## Role
You are a SEO content strategist. Produce the deliverable below for a human reviewer. Do not publish or change production systems.

## Target
- Site: Legacy Station
- Primary URL: https://www.legacystation.com
- Depth: standard
- Queue group: supporting
- Supports flagship play: Own the garden / G-scale sub-niche
- Read the parent play brief first for the full strategy frame (donor/target logic, complete page set): `prompts/plays/02-garden-hub.md`
- Affected URLs:
- https://www.legacystation.com/g-scale-trains
- https://www.legacystation.com/g-scale-piko-buildings

## Why this matters
The garden/G-scale page is the site's best non-branded asset in a weak-competition, high-ticket sub-niche. Building it into a hub compounds an existing win.

## Action
1. Map the garden/G-scale keyword universe in Ahrefs Keywords Explorer.
2. Design pillar+children architecture (garden track, buildings, sets, brand pages).
3. Draft 1-2 garden buyer's-guide articles funnelling to categories.
4. Interlink pillar<->children.

## Evidence
- Claim: The /g-scale-trains category page is the site's strongest non-branded asset, ranking for 54 keywords and ~341 visits/month, #1-2 for the garden-trains cluster. | Proof type: provider_metric | Source: https://www.legacystation.com/g-scale-trains | Observed: 54 keywords, 341 visits/mo; 'garden trains' #1 (vol 200), 'garden train sets' #1 (vol 100), 1,254 words
- Claim: On 'g scale trains for sale' (vol 300) Legacy Station ranks #9 with URL Rating 0 while a DR-19 page (URL Rating 7) ranks #2 and a DR-0 page (URL Rating 5) ranks #4. | Proof type: serp_row | Source: https://www.legacystation.com/g-scale-trains | Observed: #2 modeltrainmarket DR19/UR7; #4 mostlygscale DR0/UR5; #9 legacystation DR28/UR0/1 backlink

## Target keywords
- garden railway | volume: 250 | CPC: 5 | current: 6 | target: 3 | URL: https://www.legacystation.com/g-scale-trains
- g scale buildings | volume: 200 | CPC: 8 | current: 11 | target: 4 | URL: https://www.legacystation.com/g-scale-piko-buildings

## Expected outcome
23-46 clicks/mo; $1-$3/mo traffic value (CPC proxy); not revenue; GSC-gated directional estimate

## Supporting tasks
- This prompt is the primary work packet for the task.

## Deliverable
Produce a review-ready work packet for `Expand /g-scale-trains into a garden-railroading hub` with the proposed fix, affected URLs, owner notes, QA steps, and before/after evidence to collect. Do not publish changes or touch production systems.

## Available local data
- data/audit.json - full v4 audit contract, evidence pack, value bands, and validation results
- operator-brief.md - provider provenance, confidence gates, and budget notes
- report.md - canonical text strategy context; final report.html is model-authored only

## Inputs to gather first
- Confirm the local output folder contains the files listed above.
- If a required source is missing, record the blocker and continue with a bounded draft instead of inventing evidence.
- If implementation requires CMS, repository, analytics, GSC, or deployment access, stop at a review-ready brief and list the exact access needed.

## Constraints / guardrails
- Only plan pages for products the store stocks; no publishing without approval.
- Do not publish, send, delete, or mutate production systems.
- Do not claim revenue, ROI, pipeline, lead value, guaranteed AI rankings, or llms.txt ranking impact.
- Treat CPC-proxy value bands as directional SEO prioritization evidence, not business revenue.

## Acceptance criteria
- Each planned page maps to a real keyword and in-stock inventory; hub fully interlinked in the plan.

## Definition of done
- The first section of your answer states the concrete deliverable you produced.
- Every claim is either backed by the evidence above or labeled as an assumption to validate.
- The next operator can start work without resolving audit evidence IDs.
- No external write, publish, send, delete, deployment, or paid provider action has been performed.
